Eastern europe also had Su22s, and MiG23/27s. Both have variety of armament, for Su22 even a small nuke is available. Also bombs, ATGMs, Anti-radar missiles + IR AA for defense. In real life you need them, but have you seen them in mods?

I don't think I saw Su-17/22 anywhere. Who cares about lighter bombers (well, it's multipurpose), when there are Tupolevs? MiG-25/31 is known and favorite for modders. They make fun about A-10 being built around the gun. You can say about MiG-25/31 that it's the first stage of those AA sniper missiles.

No wonder they won't sell A-10. Even after decades, it is still rivaled only by Su-25 modifications. But the gun would loose some of it's potential without those depleted uranium penetrators.

RE: Su24 is not that much known. I even thought it wasn't exported, because it wasn't exported to us, neither to Poland or East Germany. But there are more planes less known, like Su17/22, MiG23/27, or MiG19 and these were exported a lot.

It is a part of history that somehow happened and we have to deal with it. But how it happened is hard to learn, since history is written by victors and Soviet Russia is now only bad and evil.

People who built cities like Novosibirsk had no doubt hard life. But many started to compare it with Nazi lagers (and this is a part of history we are dealt with, Germany is now ok)... We have even books from these Gulags - do you think that old intellectual would write it after 14 hours labor?

If I can't show my opinion, go right ahead and then think about what you have done.

A worldwide survey: "What is your opinion on lack of food in other parts of world?"

In Africa, nobody replied, because they didn't know what the food is.
In western Europe they didn't know what is a 'lack'.
In eastern Europe they didn't know what is an 'opinion'.
And finally in US people didn't know what 'other parts of world' means.
